What is traumatic brain injury?

Traumatic brain injury cases result when a victim sustains a hit to the head, or his or her head is slammed by force into an object. The impact, such as when a head hits a dashboard or a motorcycle rider is thrown off of the bike, causes the brain to slam against the inside of the skull. The damage can be light or severe, and is very serious because the injury is usually permanent.

Ask any traumatic brain injury lawyer and they are likely to agree that many brain traumas are the result of serious motor vehicle crashes. Traumatic brain injuries may result from multi-car crashes, bicycle accidents with a car, pedestrian hit-and-runs, commercial truck accidents, etc. But TBI can occur from other actions such as participation in sports, violent acts, slip and falls, and workplace accidents. Your traumatic brain injury lawyer is aware that many events can cause serious symptoms:

coma

changes in speech

loss of memory, judgment and reasoning

changes in conduct, such as rage or emotions

inability to concentrate

loss of logical or problem solving functions

permanent personality dysfunction

disturbed sleep

headaches

blurry sight

convulsions and seizures

These are not the only symptoms, so it is important to seek medical attention immediately after any head trauma from an accident. A TBI requires medical treatment, hospitalization and at times surgery to remove pressure on the brain. All of this may be followed by physical therapy. You have a right to be compensated for the financial burden caused by mounting bills and loss of work during recovery, or permanently when the injury is severe.

Compensation for Traumatic Brain Injury Cases

While not always the case, damage from a this serious injury can be long-term, permanent, or fatal. This can mean larger expenses for medical treatment or funeral expenses and a higher chance of lost income. You or your loved one did not deserve to be injured due to the negligence of another and you have a right to compensation for this injustice.

Compensation for your injury may cover:

lost wages or earning potential

current medical expenses

long-term treatment or rehabilitation

pain and suffering

future medical expenses or equipment

In cases in which a victim passes away, the surviving spouse or dependants have a right to file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of companionship and support, as well as funeral expenses.

Even if the damage is not yet certain, consult your traumatic brain injury lawyer, who can go to work immediately by taking legal action. If the victim is not yet physically able to contact us, select a representative of the traumatic brain injury victim to call our law firm.

The insurance companies may try to offer you a low-ball settlement, if they offer a settlement at all. A common argument we see is that the insurance company believes the damage will not be permanent or severely disabling. This is where substantial medical evidence is necessary.

Your lawyer can seek experts in the medical field who know just how serious a TBI can be for a victim. The symptoms experienced after the injury such as headaches, cognitive impairment, and vision loss may be temporary or permanent.

In cases of permanent disability, this is a life-altering situation that deserves full compensation for your suffering. A medical expert can attest to the extent of the injury and its prognosis. TBI cases are handled so that the victims are financially able to handle whatever necessary life changes and future care they may need.

The sooner you contact an attorney the sooner we can help you pursue the compensation you deserve. TBI cases that begin within days of the accident benefit from having the same lawyer working toward a settlement. Insurers count on time and delay to lessen a payout. Let them know you are assertive from the start.

After a traumatic brain injury, contact our law firm shortly after the accident.
